This tool will autonomously replace the NewGen's within your save game with faces from the sortitoutsi facepack - it will do so based on Nationality and Ethnicity.
(For nations such as England, France, US and Australia where there are sometimes darker skin tones which do not have a secondary nationality indicating they should have a darker skin tone - and vice versa there will be some minor errors where the incorrect photo is allocated ~2% of the time - you can just manually update these if they are in your team or a rival team and become too obvious)
It is very dependent on you following the steps below, so please follow them carefully and in order

Let me send you an updated excel file that should fix this.
Youll have to delete the current one.
DazS8
To be clear in the instructions.....Part 11....is that only if you have added new faces or is it essential to do before Part 12
Samuel Roy
Download this and replace existing tool and repeat steps 1 2 and 3 within the tool
DazS8
No problem thanks once again
Samuel Roy

Followed by this.....

Thanks for testing it - will re-upload the entire tool with this fix now.
Let me know how it looks in game and if you find anymore errors.
First time building a tool like this. Thanks for the feedback
DazS8
No problem.....enjoyed it to be honest
Great tool well done mate
Samuel Roy
You've got it working in-game?
Please continue to provide feedback if you find any other errors
DazS8
Samuel Roy
Glad you're enjoying it mate

It could have something to do with I'm having 70 000+ regens.
Samuel Roy
In step 9. Try filtering and downloading a CSV of regens that are 16 and 17
Then do 18 and 19
Then do 20 and 21
and so on.
It will still work this way, just take slightly longer.
Samuel Roy
Sorry for the inconvenience - please try the solution in the above message and let me know how it goes
My save only had 32k regens and I didn't encounter this issue
Samuel Roy
krissmed
Yes, that worked, thanks. Although I encountered another issue when running step 15:
FYI, I have placed FM 20 documents folder on another disk, so it's not in the usual C:\Users\User\Documents path.
DazS8
Try changing the name of the folder as I did in above post.....that worked for me
(I have done it .....the issue was the name you gave to the regen replacements folder......it should be.... Samaroy's regen replacements)
Samuel Roy
If you downloaded the version I upload 90 mins ago then this would likely be caused by either the Regen Replacement folder not being where it should be - or there's a different error...
Can you show me your graphics folder?
Samuel Roy
Let me know if the above doesn't work and I'll upload an update tomorrow.
krissmed
That worked. Thanks.
Samuel Roy
Please let me know if there's any more issues.
Hopefully I can make this into something people can seamlessly enjoy
DazS8
Have you used any of these in the folders at all.....some great faces here I think but would need organising

Yep used a few but prioritised the default facepack as it was more easy to sort (using the game)
I have been in touch with the guys behind that pack and we have discussed potentially using my sorted folders to help train the AI in the different ethnicities
Samuel Roy
Its the YACS skin by Bossland with the transparent version installed
FuryG
Unfortunately, it does not work for me. I am getting "Error 9" (Runtime Error)
I am getting the same error on both tools! So it must be quite a fundamental thing.
Any help?
Cheers!
Samuel Roy
Have you moved any of the excel files? Renamed any of the folders? Anything like that?
That's an error that will pop up if it can't find something it should be able to find. Given its with both files, potentially one of the folders
